What sponsor would make this Villa shirt? I’ll put it on. #AVFC #AstonVilla 🟣🔵

Well, well, well… Yesterday we were told half a million people took to the streets in the “largest anti-far right march in British history.” The truth? It was the same well-funded, well-organised left-wing machine that shows up every single time, trade unions, NGOs, Stand Up To Racism, Palestine groups, and dozens of compromised Labour MPs all bussed in, paid for, and choreographed to create the illusion of mass public support. Here they are, every single one of them compromised: Zarah Sultana, Stella Creasy, Dawn Butler, John McDonnell, Richard Burgon, Rebecca Long Bailey, Nadia Whittome, Apsana Begum, Bell Ribeiro-Addy, Clive Lewis, Ian Lavery, Paula Barker, Kim Johnson, Mary Kelly Foy, Peter Dowd, Rachael Maskell, Olivia Blake, Ian Byrne, Grahame Morris, Lee Barron, Elaine Orr Stewart, Dr Simon Opher, Chris Hinchcliff, Brian Leishman, Cat Eccles, Peter Lamb, Richard Quigley, Steve Witherden… plus Plaid Cymru’s Liz Saville Roberts and Independent Iqbal Mohamed. Every last one of them stood on those platforms yesterday pretending to speak for “the people” while their own constituencies rot under grooming scandals, knife crime, mass immigration, and economic decline. These are not principled politicians. These are career activists and establishment mouthpieces who only ever turn out when the script says “attack the native working class and call them far right.” They don’t represent Britain. They represent the machine that has spent years betraying Britain. And yesterday they all crawled out of the same swamp together, waving the same flags, chanting the same slogans, funded by the same networks. This is just a teaser. As the day unfolds, we’re going to expose every single one of these great new faces, their dirty pasts, their secrets, and exactly how they’ve been destroying England. They’ve just served themselves up on a silver platter. The British public sees you clearly now. You are not the voice of the people. You are the voice of the people who hate the people. Britain First. No Surrender. 🦁🇬🇧

@PaulEmbery I’m a Brummie mate most who drink on the weekends in the city centre drink during the day, home for 7-8 etc. Safer that way, the predators are out to pick off stragglers after that. It’s a shame but that’s the perception and in my view true.

When I was growing up, pubs would often be rammed until closing time (not so much during the week, but certainly at weekends). The bell for “last orders” would usually spark a rush to the bar. These days, even the most popular pubs seem to start emptying out around 8.00-9.00pm, including on Fridays and Saturdays. Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? Is there a reason for it?

@Primetimeperry Cheesy I know and not likely but “Acorns” would be good. Financially it would be Guinness or such.

@drhingram Most will day drink in the city centre now Helen! Home at a reasonable time and food. Safer for sure!

Feel like I’m Birmingham-bashing a lot this weekend, but I miss having a safe night out in Birmingham. Those were happy days. I want my city back. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@x_brum @Bradford_St_Bhm @BirminghamWeAre @BuildsWeAre Just my opinion mate but the selfridges building in the background is a monstrosity and needs demolition. I walked past this morning and the dustbin lids are all covered in dust and grime. A regular power wash clean to eye height might clean it up.

I was invited to the Hs2 Curzon Street station open doors event earlier today. And what an exciting, interesting , massive project this is for Birmingham. Tower crane will be arriving middle of April. 😃

@John_EdwardsUK Whom ever it is contentious and distressing to should not be here. Simple really!

I’m delighted to say Sandhurst Town Council will now permanently fly the Union Flag 🇬🇧 outside its offices following my proposal. This was despite the Lib Dems’ best efforts to stop it, with some councillors arguing our flag is “contentious” and “distressing”, and one Lib Dem even exclaiming “shame” when the vote passed. One suggestion was even to fly every other country’s flag as well, to make sure we didn’t exclude or offend anyone. To me, our flag isn’t contentious or offensive at all. It’s a symbol of unity, freedom, identity and duty, and I’m pleased it will soon be flying permanently over Sandhurst.

@suespensley Have we the courage and will to do it.

To all the Reform haters, Reform has always been a party that has welcomed anyone who is a true patriot of this country regardless of age,sex ,or colour, the policies Reform has always stood for is stopping and deporting illegal immigrants and freezing non essential immigration

Thought I’d make a Villa image too❤️👍 @Church_of_Aston

@Primetimeperry Looks good!

I’m thinking of purchasing the Aston Villa Elements Shacket. Anyone that has, is it worth it? #AVFC #AstonVilla 🟣🔵

@IpswichTown Did you feel the need to issue a statement like this for them and if not why not?

Following Monday’s visit by the Reform party and its leader, Nigel Farage, the club would like to issue the following statement: Ipswich Town Football Club has, over several years, hosted representatives from a range of political parties. The club remains apolitical and does not support or endorse any individual or party. The club will continue to engage with representatives from across the political spectrum as part of its role within the community. Ipswich Town is proud to be an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming organisation that supports all members of the local and wider community. This commitment remains unchanged.

@AVFCOfficial Will you be doing any sort of update on the buildings progression with drone footage etc?

Aston Villa can confirm that preparatory works connected to the previously announced redevelopment of the North Stand at Villa Park have now begun.

@PaulEmbery He tried to destroy Trumps life and was the archetypal swamp rat! Burn in hell!

This was Trump's immediate response today after learning that a former director of the FBI had died. It seems there is no depth to which this depraved man will not sink.

@stephenasmith Mueller was swamp life writ large. It’s the worms now for him!

See……this is the B.S. I’m talking about. This is a disgusting thing coming from our Commander In Chief — especially about a VETERAN and PURPLE HEART recipient. #DamnShameful!

The Clubmen England, 1640s. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Not soldiers. Not politicians. Not interested in sides. Just ordinary English men, farmers, labourers, villagers, who’d had enough of armies marching through their land, taking food, burning homes, and treating them like nothing. So they stood up. Armed with whatever they had, clubs, tools, the odd blade, they gathered in numbers and made it clear: Stay off our land. Leave our families alone. In some areas, they marked themselves with white ribbons or armbands, a sign they belonged to neither side. They didn’t fight for king or parliament. They stood apart from both, acting on their own to protect what was theirs. At places like Hambledon Hill, they stood their ground against trained troops. Outmatched, eventually broken, but not wrong. No ideology. No slogans. Just men protecting their homes. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Everyone knows Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb. 💡 Everyone is wrong. His name was Joseph Swan. Born in Pallion, Sunderland. Son of a failed entrepreneur. No university. No laboratory. No backing. Just a chemist's apprentice in his home town who couldn't stop thinking about light. He worked on it for twenty years. Along the way he invented bromide photographic paper. Artificial fibre, the process that led to rayon. Over seventy patents. And still nobody had made a lightbulb that worked. Then on the 18th of December 1878, in a lecture hall in Newcastle, he switched it on. It burned bright. Then it broke. But the idea was proven. ⚡ Six weeks later, 3rd February 1879, he demonstrated it again. This time it worked. Seven hundred people watched the room light up. Eight months before Thomas Edison. Edison heard about it. Filed a patent. Then sued Swan in America. The US Patent Office found against Edison. ✅ Edison sued Swan in Britain. The British courts found against Edison again. ✅✅ As part of the settlement, Edison was forced into a partnership with Swan. The company was called Ediswan. Swan's patents. Swan's filament design. Edison's name first. Eventually Edison bought him out. Swan was knighted in 1904. The Savoy Theatre, the first building in the world lit entirely by electricity, used his bulbs. Edison got the credit. Swan got a knighthood nobody remembers. And history forgot Sunderland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Did they teach you his name? Together we keep our history alive. proudofus.co.uk/support Be part of us. 🙏 Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

@B6Nigel @footballontnt These will be the voices that win out unfortunately.

@footballontnt Complete and utter codswallop from Joe Cole and Owen Hargreaves attempting to gaslight the nation on the topic of Chelsea’s fraudulent transfer dealings and characterise it as unimportant. Their denial was as delusional as it was disgraceful. A very poor take 😒

Dear fellow Villa fans, after a few days in not my best mood and mainly due to bad health I would like to share with you a simple message: we need you in this crucial week. Maybe we don’t deserve to ask nothing but we need each other. Time to reset and go ahead. We must carry on with criticism when we don’t do well. It’s natural. We take the responsibility. We’re not perfects. But our players and staff deserve the full respect and support. And we must be resilient to change the people’s mood trough facts. Difference between a drama club and a stable and strong club is that when results are not good (and it happens to everyone no matter who), instead to have people that choose to point and blame each other, instead to set fire to everyone and everything, we have people looking for the solutions and staying together. And we will be good, UTV!!! PD: this picture- very special - in the wall of my office gives me the motivation and an everyday reminder, it is the proof of what we are able to do. And what we play for. To fulfill VP with happiness and pride. See you on Thursday!
